Exploring Hong Kong and stumbled across street view taken from the air. Is this done elsewhere? Seems quite novel but this area is actually completely walkable.

This is only true if those 500 shares had identical value, as market cap is the number of shares x the price.

Clojure brought back my joy of programming after years in the Java framework driven world and the JS churn driven world.

It feels like gardening where slowly your art takes shape, and every single line of code does has a visible impact (no magic) that you can immediately see via the repl

That said, clojure done with AI feels like any other language done by AI. They are interchangeable and thus the language has become irrelevant.

Attaching ticket numbers has always been enforced by automated checks wherever I have worked, so it is not necessary to “try” to enforce it.

Similarly with AI it is fairly simple to have eg a pre-merge check that validates the commit msg is somewhat useful. This could be implemented for example with GitHub org level checks that must run in a PR.

It mentions DeepMind but also says Research Ready, which is the program funded by DeepMind but run by unis for disadvantaged students.

That said I have no idea how competitive this program is.

Old school but all the machines for paying in cash in Japan are so optimized for speed. Train stations, onboard buses, convenience stores. Just throw in a handful of coins and it quickly picks what it needs and returns what it doesn’t.

In other countries (eg australia), the ticket machines could only take a single coin at a time and would reject if you did it too fast.

I believe this is one (of several) reasons why cash has continued to be dominant in Japan.

In Australia the regulators pursue such things. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/jayco-in-court-over-of...

Hong Kong has the same concept in their mini buses, in particular the red ones. Whether they wait until full is up to the driver though.

After boiling them, drain the water, shake the pot so the shells crack a bit, soak in cold water for 10 min. The shells will come off easily. Same as what is done in food business.

I like the ideas proposed in “Turn the ship around” - create a bottom up culture and a culture of over communication so as a manager you can just sign off instead of delegate.

A few people mentioning pressure cookers as an alternative. A heavy claypot is the ideal manual alternative for those with a gas stove.

Probably the most popular is “kamadosan”. It makes beautiful rice and you have control over it so eg it is easy to create a crust on the bottom if you like.

Unfortunately I have an induction stove now so a bit hard to use, but I occasionally cook rice on a small charcoal stove when enjoying the slow life.

Re your kustomizen complaint, just create a complete env-specific ingress for each env instead of patching.

- it is not really any more lines - doesn’t break if dev upgrades to a different version of the resource (has happened before) - allows you to experiment with dev with other setups (eg additional ingresses, different paths etc) instead of changing a base config which will impact other envs

TLDR patch things that are more or less the same in each env; create complete resources for things that change more.

There is a bit of duplication but it is a lot more simple (see ‘simple made easy’ - rich hockey) than tracing through patches/templates.

A bit off topic but it may be worth looking into investing a little (maybe basic index ETFs as suggested by the FIRE movement).

You can fairly quickly get to a point where your investments go up (or down, but more often up) more in a day than your monthly income.

Take a sabbatical, move to a new country, buy a motorbike, learn BJJ, do tech stuff if you want.

I’m the same age with kids and have done all of the above. Work is just work. Live your life around it.

You’re already lifting, so that is a good start.

As you hit 30 and beyond, you absolutely need a stretching/mobility routine. Whether it is yoga, or short 10-15 min rolling/stretching programs (eg “limber 11”) that you can do when you wake up. Things like BJJ and also great for body awareness and getting you moving properly.

In terms of lifting, in my early 30s I transitioned entirely to minimalist kettlebell programs and feel much better than when I was doing heavy barbell work. Plenty of info on the net but a good starting point is to get a 16kg and 24kg kettlebell and start with “simple and sinister” (just swings and getups), and progress through a whole other bunch of minimal programs (2-3 movements eg ROP, DFW), and see what works for you.

My kids play tag (and any number of other things) outside. Teaches them about fitness, coordination, perseverance, social dynamics, how to engage people they don’t know.

They do play some digital games but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they learn anything useful from them.

Clojure is tiny in that there are very few special forms (less than 20 according to [0]) and most things are just plain functions.

More importantly, it is developed extremely conservatively which means

1) you don’t need to learn the syntax/feature of the month (like eg javascript/python)

2) the code you wrote a decade ago will still work.

That said, it does sit on top of Java/JS so you can access those parts easily if you need to.
